20th Century Women(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 03/27/2017 1:00 PM ESTWhen I heard about 20th Century Women, I was intrigued. People said it was funny and it got very strong reviews. It had a great cast, so I added it to my "must watch" list but took my time to see it. Now that it is coming to Blu-ray, it's time to revisit the film and write down my thoughts. Inter... Read More

The Smurfs(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 03/27/2017 11:40 AM ESTIn 1958, illustrator Peyo (Pierre Culliford), brought The Smurfs comics to Belgium. It's popularity quickly spread throughout Europe and eventually became an animated show on American Television. I can remember Saturday mornings in the 1980's in front of the television watching those little blue creature... Read More

Assassins Creed(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 03/21/2017 9:57 AM ESTI don't like video games. I never have. I don't get the appeal and I don't have the hand/eye coordination to be good at them. Therefore, the idea of a movie based on a video game is truly something I wouldn't be interested in seeing. However, for gamers everywhere, that same idea fills them with excitement and slight trepidation a... Read More

Live By Night(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 03/21/2017 9:07 AM ESTBen Affleck can be hit or miss as an actor, director, and writer. Argo was masterfully shot and Gone Baby, Gone and The Town were beautifully written and all three engaged audiences and left us feeling emotionally spent. Even his acting talents don't go to waste in The Accountant, so it's only natural t... Read More

Sing(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 03/20/2017 5:00 PM ESTFifteen years ago, a little singing competition show aired on television and captivated our hearts. Each year, we would watch intently as hopeful young adults put themselves and their vocal talents on display on a show called American Idol. Other shows soon followed. Some, such as The Voice, are still on the air and show... Read More

The Complete First Season(Jennifer Broderick) 03/20/2017 12:14 PM ESTHBO was one of the forerunners in cable television to start their own programming. With shows like Game of Thrones, Westword, The Sopranos, VEEP, Silicon Valley, and True Blood, HBO has shown foresight into what captivates viewers and they have also shown that they are not afraid to spend money on their productions, which make the s...

Collateral Beauty(Sean Ferguson) 03/17/2017 10:49 AM ESTThis week, Warner Brothers released to Bluray & DVD "Collateral Beauty", which was released in theaters back in December of 2016. This picture is headed by Will Smith, who recently seems to step away from his big summer blockbusters here and there in the search of that elusive Best Actor Oscar. The sad part is, he's deserved it ma... Read More

Jackie(Jennifer Broderick) 03/08/2017 10:39 AM ESTIn the 1960s, the United States was introduced to Camelot. Camelot – a time of romance and prosperity. The time in which there was contentment throughout the kingdom and people were happy. Well, we, as Americans, didn't have King Arthur, Queen Guinevere, or The Knights of the Round Table; we had the White House, the Oval Office, and the K... Read More

Shut In(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 03/07/2017 11:51 AM ESTThere was a time when horror movies meant scary monsters who preyed on teenagers and created massive amounts of carnage wherever they went. More recently, though, a lot of these type of horror movies have been replaced with a more suspenseful, psychological thriller-like motif of storytelling that offers a few scares but also plays tricks on ...

Moana(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 03/06/2017 5:07 PM ESTDisney had a strong year movie-wise in 2016.
